Hi, I work in abortion care and teach reproductive justice university courses. Pro-abortion is the new term, but I don’t have the bandwidth to explain it for the millionth time this week, so here’s an easy to understand essay about it: https://secularhumanism.org/2016/07/cont-why-i-am-pro-abortion-not-just-pro-choice/

“Because President Biden is Catholic, it presents a unique problem for us,” Naumann told The Associated Press. “It can create confusion. ... How can he say he’s a devout Catholic and he’s doing these things that are contrary to the church’s teaching?”

oh, that’s silly. people who reproduce aren’t entitled to any special brand of respect for doing so; you either respect them as you do all fellow people, or you don’t.

Come on.

Why? The body of evidence was growing larger and larger that most outdoor activities except the ones the CDC highlighted pose a minimal risk of both getting and giving COVID-19, especially if you are vaccinated.Credible independent researchers would have started to say there’s no point in requiring face masks outside…

I am quite glad AV Club writers dislike him. Anyone reasonable would.

No one outside your immediate family gives a fuck about your kids. And especially not your co-workers.

I literally had to pause the show and go have a cocktail and a cigarette to calm myself down after RuPaul pushed Kandy into the final.

My husband says he knows when I really want to insult someone, I refer to them as “you people” (generally in reference to Southern Californians).

“Seriously, how deluded must she be to think this will go anywhere?” This is the Age of Social Media. Did trump think he was going to win? Did he want to? No way. He ran to raise the profile of his “brand.” That’s all that matters. Get attention by any means possible and then pounce on opportunity when it arises. If…

Never forget:

McDonaldland Cookies

Yeah, this. I don’t mind if somebody needs to step out of the office to pick their kid up from school, or if kid pops into a video call because they’re a child and they’re being chaotic. But I hate when my coworker uses that as an opportunity to try and force me to interact with the kid. No. If your three year old…

Just lie about having kids so you can use them as an excuse to get extra time off.

I cant stand those people who constantly have their children attend meetings at work. They’re loud and distracting to the entire team and you waste everyone time. No one wants your kid in their meetings, so it might be fine when you want a meeting to have your kid there, it is not appropriate in most situations. Also,…

Sharing that you’re a parent and how that impacts your work is fine, just as non parents might tell a humorous story about something in their own lives, or have the occasional cat-butt zoom flash. But, parents, *please* don’t overdo it. Literally no one finds your kids as cute as you do, and very few non parents want…

Every time someone asks me why is Air France so expensive, I tell them to look at the things included with the ticket.
I did Paris-NY and back with them when I was 21 (I was not paying lol, I was with my grandma), in peasant class, so not even 1st or business or whatever, and we downed about 2 bottles of champagne…

So, now a company can’t sell a product because it might trigger someone? A grocery store can’t sell meat, because some vegan might be upset? They can’t sell bread because someone who can’t eat gluten might get palpitations? They can’t sell alcohol (in the states that allow it) because a recovering alcoholic might go…

This whole thing feels like something you’d expect to find on late 2000s era Tumblr. You know, that phase of self-defeating attempts to be more performatively progressive than the next person also being performatively progressive...
